Original Sin Bars

When I was young and poor, before Jimmer and I got married, we used to entertain ourselves by spending hours in used book stores. Jimmer would search for underpriced collectable books and I would get comfy in the cookbook section. A house, two kids, a cat and a dog later, our lives are quite scheduled. We hardly ever have time for browsing, but a few weeks back we found ourselves in the stacks once again. I made one purchase, a cookbook called “The Great American Bake Sale.” I organize a lot of bake sales for my daughter’s school, so it seemed like a prudent investment.

This is my first recipe from the book, a no-bake dessert they call Original Sin Bars. And because its me, I changed the recipe just a bit. The resulting bar tastes like a peanut butter cup in a bar form. They are incredibly rich and delicious.

Line a 9 X 13-inch pan with aluminum foil. Make sure the foil extends about 2 inches up past the two long sides of the pan. You will use this extra foil later to lift the finished bars out of the pan before cutting.

Errr… I sense a cardiac arrest.
But oh it might be so just so worth it.
Seriously, Heather. I’m trying to get into HM status for beach season.
But my niece who’s allergic to eggs will love you forever.
